It is a busy time of the year for school officials in the UAE as they prepare to welcome back pupils for the start of a new academic year.
Classrooms, corridors and play areas are undergoing a deep clean, while stickers are being displayed to remind pupils to follow social distancing rules.
Teachers are once again being trained in Covid-19 protocols, while masks and hands sanitisers are bought in bulk.
We are offering lots of training to our teachers to make sure they understand the protocols and can work as a team
Simon Crane,
headmaster of Brighton College Dubai
Simon Crane, headmaster at Brighton College Dubai, said he expected at least 95 per cent of the nearly 550 pupils at the school to be back in the classroom on Sunday.
A team of between five and 10 people conducted sanitisation drives at the school during the summer holidays.
“It’s a busy time as we get ready for the new academic year and schools are working really hard, round the clock, to ensure they are clean, sanitised and safe for young people,” Mr Crane said.
“We have a team of cleaners going from one classroom to another to get classes ready for the start of the year.
“We want to start the year with zero positive cases or close contacts within the school.”
Health inspections are carried out to ensure classrooms are ready for pupils and teachers to return.
Seventy teachers at the school are undergoing Covid-19 protocol training this week.
“We are offering lots of training to our teachers to make sure they understand the protocols and can work as a team,” Mr Crane said.
“We are also communicating a lot with parents so that they are fully informed with everything they need to know about coming back to school."
On Tuesday, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, Dubai's private school regulator, announced health and safety rules for the new academic year.
It also said all schools in the emirate would have to end distance learning on October 3.
The authority has updated safety measures in schools, such as reducing social distancing from 1.5 metres to one metre.
Pupils do not need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to return to the classroom and regular testing is not mandatory.
Parents must submit a declaration form to schools to confirm their child is fit and healthy to return, and declare any recent international travel.
A bubble system is still in place at the school for pupils from Foundation Stage One to Year One.
In a bubble system, pupils learn and socialise in small groups, and are kept separate from others to reduce the chances of spreading Covid-19.
Mr Crane said increased sanitisation measures increased costs for schools.
“We have invested tens of thousands of dirhams, not only in sanitisation equipment but also additional staffing resources and human resources, additional teachers and cleaners," he said.
“The investment had been really significant for schools.”
David Jolly, the school's health and safety officer, said many families and pupils had been exhausted by the pandemic, which proved an additional challenge.
"People have Covid fatigue. They hope that when they go back to work and learning, the problem [the pandemic] would have been solved," he said.
Schools will have to work hard to ensure pupils followed all precautionary measures and did not let that fatigue affect their behaviour, he said.
Gulf Model School in Dubai has also been carrying out sanitisation drives over the past week.
Shiny Davison, academic director at the school, said the job was outsourced to a cleaning company.
"The school has been closed for two months and we thought in-house cleaning would not be enough," she said.
Desks and chairs are being spaced one-metre apart, instead of 1.5 metres, before pupils return to the classroom.
Officials at the school are also conducting online induction and orientation programmes for parents this week.

The Birkin bag is made by Hermès.
It is named after actress and singer Jane Birkin
Noone from Hermès will go on record to say how much a new Birkin costs, how long one would have to wait to get one, and how many bags are actually made each year.

If you go...
Fly from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Chiang Mai in Thailand, via Bangkok, before taking a five-hour bus ride across the Laos border to Huay Xai. The land border crossing at Huay Xai is a well-trodden route, meaning entry is swift, though travellers should be aware of visa requirements for both countries.
Flights from Dubai start at Dh4,000 return with Emirates, while Etihad flights from Abu Dhabi start at Dh2,000. Local buses can be booked in Chiang Mai from around Dh50

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

What sanctions would be reimposed?
Under ‘snapback’, measures imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council in six resolutions would be restored, including:
- An arms embargo
- A ban on uranium enrichment and reprocessing
- A ban on launches and other activities with ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, as well as ballistic missile technology transfer and technical assistance
- A targeted global asset freeze and travel ban on Iranian individuals and entities
- Authorisation for countries to inspect Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines cargoes for banned goods
Closing the loophole on sugary drinks
As The National reported last year, non-fizzy sugared drinks were not covered when the original tax was introduced in 2017. Sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, 20 grams of sugar per 500ml bottle.
The non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.
Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.
Flavoured water, long-life fruit juice concentrates, pre-packaged sweetened coffee drinks fall under the ‘sweetened drink’ category
Not taxed:
Freshly squeezed fruit juices, ground coffee beans, tea leaves and pre-prepared flavoured milkshakes do not come under the ‘sweetened drink’ band.
